At first it prevented western migration into what is today Western Canada.

This was due to the Hudson Bay Company who had a business model that used locals, aboriginals, to do the trapping. The HBC found it profitable to have the aboriginals lead a traditional lifestyle and bring furs to the Ocean coasts in Manitoba and along the Hudson Bay. Since HBC owned most of what is today Canada they were able to prevent people from moving West but only for a while.

Canadians from the East began to trade directly with the aboriginals by using lakes, rivers and over land routes to intercept furs headed to the ocean and the HBC.

HBC responded by expanding inland and with that expansion came more people and the cities that would become major centres of Immigration in the 19th and 20th centuries.
